The attraction of first-tier cities to young people is nothing more than a dream that seems to be within reach. In fact, it is two parallel lines with many people and has nothing to do with it. There are on-call takeout, convenience stores everywhere, and favorite star concerts. First-tier cities have almost everything that post-90s want, but dreams are dreams after all.
Many people have been defeated before they start chasing their dreams. After graduation, classmate Xiao Zhang went to Beijing to work hard and felt that he could make a career. When he went to Beijing, he was full of all kinds of beautiful expectations. People and things there are very excited about working there. However, when she really arrived in Beijing, various practical problems made her feel less and less hopeful about the city, and even wanted to run back to her hometown for development, and came to Beijing alone with 6,543,800 yuan given by her parents.
It was the graduation season, and the rental market was very hot. Beijing's housing prices have also risen with the trend, with an increase of nearly 20%. Xiao Zhang spent a few days looking at the house and found a place half an hour away from the company. The rent is 2500 yuan a month, and he bought some simple furniture and household appliances, 1500. Originally, the rent was paid on three bets. Seeing that he was a graduate, the landlord reluctantly asked him to pay only two months' rent, and that 5000 yuan was gone. There was no news on the resume submitted at that time, so he had to go out to recruit jobs himself. In the end, Pu's first job in Beijing paid 3,500 yuan, excluding food and shelter.
It's terrible to think about it. At that time, a month's rent could account for 80% of Xiao Zhang's monthly salary, which was not the usual food, clothing, housing and transportation. Although the dream of a big city is beautiful, the reality is extremely cruel. For most young people who come to first-tier cities with dreams, there will be obvious changes before and after coming, because solving basic living needs will make many people poor at once, and rent is an uncontrollable factor to some extent. He won't lower you a little because your monthly salary is 3 thousand, and he won't charge you 8 thousand because your monthly salary is over 10 thousand. As for the rent expenditure, for young people who just came to first-tier cities and want to stand on their feet,
The reason why many people flee from the front line and retreat to second-and third-tier cities every year is largely because the rent cost is too high. On the one hand, it is basically impossible to buy a house and settle down, only by renting a house. On the other hand, the rent is beyond their control. The landlord said he would move if he didn't accept the price increase. Moreover, in these cities full of young people, landlords never worry that their houses can't be rented out.
So there is a saying that young people in first-tier cities are in debt before they start making money. Second-and third-tier cities crush young people's dreams of nowhere to put them, while first-tier cities crush young people with high rents. Often the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Many people think that first-tier cities can help themselves. As long as they are in such an environment, they can grow up and turn over.
However, the truth is that many people have been struggling for many years. In fact, most of the efforts have been dedicated to the landlord. Your overtime, your 996 and your hard work. A large part of the beneficiaries are landlords who are lying down to make money. Young people and the obsession and fantasy of first-tier cities after the 1990 s are actually increasing the hidden income of landlords. Of course, ambitious and capable people can struggle in first-tier cities, but the starting point of all actions must be based on a clear understanding of their own abilities and goals. Being down to earth is as important as knowing yourself.
